Many artists have become gay icons over the last 50 years, they have helped the LGBT movement, thanks to them we have enjoyed many happy moments accompanying us with their lyrics and rhythms with which we have laughed, cried, and even screamed. Being a gay icon is not easy, so not every artist could be a gay icon.

There are artists who have become a symbol in the LGBT community, every gay has an iconic singer who admires every single day. We all have been and are fans of some of the artists on this list.

 2. Freddie Mercury

He was the lead singer of Queen and gay icon of the community, he never spoke in public about his sexual orientation. We all know his song “I want to break free” which is still today a cry for sexual freedom. She died in 1991, due to a pneumonia complicated by HIV. He´s one of the most popular gay icons.
